Of course he scores/assists more if he plays closer to the goal!? but as Regista he pulls the strings and dictates the tempo of the game, which is why Max wanted him there in the first place, and i don't see him change that anytime soon.
He's more of a Modric than a Toni Kroos in my eyes.
Edit: Max didn't bring him to be our regista. It's more like Pjanic was forced into playing DM because of our lack of midfielders and the need to get rid of the 3-5-2.
I'm not saying he's bad as regista but let's be honest about it. He hasn't been exceptional.
